"Liver being the root of tolerance to fatigue"refers to the role of the liver in regulating the zang-fu organs,tissues,and the movement of essence,qi,blood and body fluid to maintain a neutral state.If the liver dysfunction affects the pivotal movement of qi throughout the body,it can lead to the opposite pathological manifestations of the five zang organs.For example,insufficient flowing of liver qi can cause qi stagnation in the intestines,or insufficient liver blood can lead to deficiency of yin fluid,resulting in constipation or blocked bowel movement.Overactive flowing of liver qi can overwhelm the spleen,leading to abdominal pain and diarrhea.Liver depression over-restricting the spleen,and spleen deficiency producing phlegm can manifest as symptoms of fatigue,reluctance to speak,and excessive sleep,while excessive liver fire affecting the mind can lead to less sleep and insomnia.The article analyzes four cases(stomach diseases:a case of diarrhea,a case of constipation;heart-related diseases:a case of insomnia,a case of excessive sleep)diagnosed and treated according to"liver being the root of tolerance to fatigue",in order to demonstrate that treating heart and spleen diseases can focus on regulating the liver,adjusting yin and yang,replenishing deficiency and reducing excess,and achieving a bidirectional regulation so that the liver qi is neither excessive nor deficient,and the overall qi and blood flow smoothly,restoring harmony to the zang-fu organs and meridians.
